Sometimes attempted sequels or prequels seem laughable at best, especially if the beloved author of the original novel is long gone – in these cases one can almost sense him or her turning over in their grave in shock at some of the modern day ‘interpretations’ of their work. The New York Times recently has published an article titled To Be Continued: The Art of the Sequel which features some of the dos and don’ts of literary sequels and offers some great suggestions as to which ones to try. Maybe after reading this you’ll be willing to give some of those prequels and sequels a second chance! Enjoy! :)
